How does scholars' denial of the possibility of NT autographs affect the Christian doctrines of biblical inerrancy and infallibility? Yeah, I'd have to look into the historical development of the doctrines of scripture to see if my hunch is even based on factual data (which I am gradually doing as I work my way through Pelikan's five-volume set on the historical development of doctrine). My tradition does not even have a definitive text (nor any official canon) of the bible, so the question is irrelevant/misguided from our perspective. I was just curious to hear a Protestant perspective on this. Thanks for sharing! |

How does scholars' denial of the possibility of NT autographs affect the Christian doctrines of biblical inerrancy and infallibility? Thanks for clarifying that. I guess I never fully understood those doctrines concerning scripture, although this seems like a cop-out way of backward reasoning (the initial formulators of these doctrines probably did believe that various manuscripts and translations were inspired, but more intelligent Christians came along and redefined the terms to account for modern scholarly findings). But even still, this answer reflects current understandings, so I accepted it. |

Are Orthodox Christians all the same faith? Perhaps it's time to mark the top response as the answer or comment on why you don't think so.... |

Have any Christian denominations publicly raised concerns about the Catholic Jerusalem Bible? Yes more clarification is needed to answer this question. Do you mean the New Jerusalem Bible (1985) or the Jerusalem Bible (1966)? |

What does “scripture” mean in NT writing? @MatthewPK This website has the occurrences in each book on the right column. It's not the same tool I used but it should have the same results, that way you can see for yourself. Enjoy! biblestudytools.com/lexicons/greek/nas/graphe.html |

What does “scripture” mean in NT writing? @H3br3wHamm3r81 that is somewhat circular logic. There are a lot of men who possess the Holy Spirit who write books but I don't consider them all to be an authority for teaching. How I sort through the issue of authority is another question altogether. |

What does “scripture” mean in NT writing? @MatthewPK I used a software tool called Logos and searched for the lemma γραφή (so that it would find the word regardless of its morphology). I then read all 51 verses in the New Testament that contained the word in any variation. Listing them all and going through each would be a LOOONG response so I didn't do that. |

What does “scripture” mean in NT writing? It should also be noted that I approach this from a Christian tradition that has never officially adopted any canon of scripture. |

What does “scripture” mean in NT writing? I updated your question to clarify it (most people probably don't know what you meant by 2T and there were some grammatical issues which obscured your question). Also, I made the question ask what you just asked me in your comment since this seems to be the direction you wanted to head anyways. That way my response will match and all the discussion won't just be in the comments. If this was not your intent then I apologize, feel free to edit the question again. |

Universalism in the Orthodox Church? Well that's good. I have heard the false presentation in Protestant churches - especially the staunch Calvinist variety. |

Universalism in the Orthodox Church? The Eastern approach is apophatic (as opposed to cataphatic; cf. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apophatic_theology for some discussion of this, specifically en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…), and since heaven and hell are not necessarily Christian concepts, but actually concepts used by God that already existed in the cultures in which Christian teaching developed, we must be careful to not carry superstitions into our faith along with God's truths. |

What happens with a soul after one's death according to Eastern Orthodox doctrine? I think this is a good answer. It should be noted that the second paragraph is more superstitious and not held by all Orthodox.
